Hi. What is the purpose of the sub-pages that you have created? From what I can see there are all off-topic material for this wiki. -- Tegel _(Talk) 18:54, 11 May 2015 (UTC) Reply

They aren't off-topic for this wiki as they relate to missing articles primarily on en Wikipedia but also globally, so are clearly relevant to this wiki. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:14, 12 May 2015 (UTC) Reply

I crossed out my initial goal statement at Grants:IdeaLab/Maintenance_tags_follow-up, not because I changed my mind, but because someone made a comment that made me realize there were other options. I replaced it with a more general concept about finding a process — that process might include notifying the original editor who leaves a template or it might include other things or both. I just wanted to clarify that I wasn’t backing off my original idea.--Sphilbrick (talk) 19:18, 17 March 2016 (UTC) Reply

I was just giving my opinion on that as well as what you were currently proposing. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:32, 25 March 2016 (UTC) Reply

Thanks for your participation in IdeaLab during the Inspire Campaign focused on improving content curation & review processes from February to March 2016. I'm interested in hearing your feedback about your participation during campaign, so if you're able, I invite you to complete this brief survey to describe how you contributed to the campaign and how you felt about participating.

Immediate results of the campaign can be found here. Please feel free to review them and let me know if you have any questions about the campaign or the survey. Thanks! I JethroBT (WMF) (talk) 02:31, 26 May 2016 (UTC) Reply

Responding here given the comment on Commons: I think if you'd not done this whole "block me" thing you'd have stood a good chance of being successful removing all your restrictions in 2025. I think actually this could have probably have happened in 2024 - that was the feedback you'd gotten. I think you can get your block reversed with a credible assurance that if you wanted to be blocked in the future you would request a block rather than disrupting to get blocked. What that means for removing your restriction I don't know - I have no idea how this current arbcom will feel about you after those events. But getting the block removed is the right first step regardless. Barkeep49 (talk) 17:39, 24 February 2025 (UTC) Reply

@Barkeep49: The thing is that in 2024 I followed all the staps that were asked of me in the 2023 appeal, yes I understand the appeal text etc may not have been great but given my 2024 appeal was met with unanimous opposition I'd kind of given up after that so what I don't understand is what we think would likely have been different in 2025 to 2024 and why 2 people appeared to want to remove the restrictions even though no one had actually supported doing so (though the 2023 appeal had said to request this). As far as getting unblocked is concerned apart from maybe my talk page I don't feel I yet want to be unblocked I just feel I've had enough of trying to do the right thing and following my restrictions and doing what is asked and getting almost nowhere. I might think about getting unblocked in the next few weeks but I don't think I'm ready yet, thanks for you're advice. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:07, 24 February 2025 (UTC) Reply

That's all fair. I think one thing that has been lacking is a sense that you have "heard" the feedback the arbs (and some community members) have given. If you can demonstrate that I think you will find the experience a better one all around. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:23, 24 February 2025 (UTC) Reply

@Barkeep49: Yes I agree my appeal would benefit from the feedback from others but I think it did include some already. One of the biggist points I think is that my talk page doesn't contain indications of problems, compare that to w:User talk:DragonofBatley who was recently put under restrictions and ended up getting blocked, their talk page has lots of things do do with deletion notifications and things like careless editing. If my restrictions were lifted and my talk page became full of deletion notifications etc that would be an indication that the restrictions are necessary.
